I respect that kind of decisiveness, even when it’s born of madness.Īs for the incest angle, I’m not convinced.

They’re clearly close – not an eyelash was batted about them sleeping in the same bed, and they appear to have always spent all their time together – but I don’t think anything untoward even enters these two’s minds. Yes, Sora might have mentioned that Shiro was beautiful as she is once or twice, but that’s about the extent of it. They’re just two birds of a feather, a pair of those rare souls who get each other more than words can express.

Sure, maybe they really are total brocons and siscons, I’m just not seeing it yet. I mentioned on my Mahouka post that I prefer hard fantasy to soft fantasy. And that’s true – hard fantasy is my favorite, and it’s even what I write. Soon, soon…) I love all fantasy! And while hard fantasy is great, soft fantasy has a wonder all its own, and that wonder can be summarized as: Damn the rules, this is fun! But I love soft fantasy too, and I write it as well. I mean, look at this! Very little of that is remotely possible, but like Sora and Shiro themselves, once you go so far past possible you can focus on just having fun. It’s cool, and the soft colors the series uses lend to the fantasy air. I have to wonder whether I’ll get tired of the almost washed out colors and art style, but for now it’s selling the feeling by blurring the world around the edges, thereby encouraging us to not focus too hard on the details.
